I wonder if Oz is thinking about trotting Freddy out for the 8th.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) Yeah and after acquiring Teahen, he was moved to second. Teahen was the replacement and Teahen is no good IMO. Teahen replaced Getz, not Beckham. Beckham's underperformed far more than Teahen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:39 PM) Has there been any serious talk Teahen would be moved to the outfield? I thought he was the savior at third base, the reason for the Beckham move. Beckham was never supposed to play third base.

Freddy. Another QS, wonderful out of our fifth starter.

Hopefully Garcia finishes this inning, Matt gets the 8th, Bobby gets the 9th.

Matt warming up. Halladay fails us against Twins. Morneau goes deep, 4-1 Twins. Tigers up 3-1.

FWIW, Teahen's OPS against righties was .820. Don't tell me we couldn't use that.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:27 PM) Paulie's having a great day after sitting yesterday. Anybody want to credit Ozzie for giving the slugger a day off and us still winning yesterday? Probably not. Many only criticize. People didn't really understand sitting our two best hitters on the same day with an off day on Monday. Sitting PK in favor of Viciedo yesterday and sitting Rios today or something different would have made more sense.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) Are you saying you'd rather see Teahen start for us or Fields sit in the minors and Getz sit the bench? I'd rather have any option than Mark starting. Well, Fields is currently unable to walk properly, and Getz is a steaming pile of suck, hitting below .200.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) Who cares if he's better than Fields or Getz? He still should be a utility guy at best. Maybe we should have traded Fields or Getz for some other mediocre player. Because he essentially took Getz's starting spot.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) Our chances of winning anything significant rest in Quentin doing something, not Teahen. Teahen should never have been acquired in the first place. I just hope somehow he's turned into a utility guy. His name is a synonym for buzzkill. Teahen's much better than Josh Fields or Chris Getz. You still do that deal today. Probably not the extension, but he's appreciably better than either guy he was traded for.

With the off day tomorrow, Oz needs to be willing to go to the pen at the first signs of trouble.

Wilson Valdez homered again. 2-1 Twins.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO RAMON CASTRO

Let's keep rollin.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 12:55 PM) Oh I agree no team can sustain this current level of starting pitching over the long haul and i said in the Reinsdorf thread we still need a big bat preferably LH. Dunnnnnnnn

Well, that was just odd.

Did Ramon Castro just steal third?

Gordon! Hit a little, Freddy.

Soooo....Castro is above .300.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 12:48 PM) Yea TB was one of the most outspoken when it came to this season being over . When I suggested all it would take is a starting pitching reversal I was told " It doesn't work that way. " Of course there's still plenty of people on the " it's the NL we'll suck again once we get back to the AL" boat. I don't care , wins are good. It's sure as hell enjoyable. And Halladay facing the Twins today. Let's get to .500 and pull within 4.5.

90 degrees. Black jerseys.

I fully expect Freddy in long sleeves. Is he?

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 10:34 PM) As bad as we need a LH power bat, he would be the ideal guy for our team and would be very wise to lock him up on about a 3 year deal. We need a LH power bat in the worst way. And Kotsay could be back in the role that he's best made for, bench guy/spot starter.

Looks like he'll pitch with Bristol and then should probably head back to Kanny.
